This week's newsletter salutes the last remaining weeks of summer with tips on enjoying the bounty of the harvest (even if it's a few cherry tomatoes from your container garden), ways to cook outside without using the barbecue and natural tips to keep the bugs at bay.

 
In the Spotlight
A Summer Harvest Feast
My garden is overflowing with veggies. I can only freeze or can so much. Instead, with help from Donna, the Guide to Entertaining, I've decided to host a neighborhood feast. It's a great way to celebrate the end of summer, to have one final outdoor party before school starts and to ensure that everyone enjoys the bounty of the harvest.

Design Your Own Outdoor Kitchen
A friend of mine is determined to build a pizza oven in his backyard. It would be a nice change from a barbecue and there's nothing like the taste of wood-oven pizza. So, I encouraged him to check out David's article on outdoor cooking spaces, including details on how to build your own brick oven. How cool is that?

 
Natural Insect Repellents
We've spent a bit of time in this newsletter talking about bugs that bite and sting and while it's just a part of outdoor life, it doesn't mean that we have to forgo a nice night on the beach just to save ourselves from itchy bites. Instead, go natural and try these great suggestions from About's Guide to Green Living.
